NEW BRAINTREE — A man was transported to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester with minor injuries Saturday afternoon after his ultra-light aircraft crashed.

The accident happened around 1:20 p.m.

According to police, the man — whom they did not identify — was in an ultra-light aircraft being towed by another to a nearby airport, when the link to the towed aircraft broke. There was not enough wind to carry the aircraft to the airport, estimated to be about 400 yards away. The aircraft clipped the tree tops and landed off Ravine Road. The pilot was able to get out of the plane on his own.

CHARLTON — Fire damaged an outbuilding on City Depot Road early Saturday morning.

According to fire officials, when firefighters arrived at 140 City Depot Road around 3:15 a.m., they found a 30 foot by 30 foot outbuilding fully engulfed.

Firefighters extinguished the fire, and stayed at the address for around three hours. The cause is under investigation by the state fire marshal’s office; the owner of the building suffered minor injuries when he attempted to put out the fire himself, fire officials said. He refused medical attention at the scene.

Southbridge and Spencer firefighters helped haul water to the fire; for Charlton firefighters, it was their third fire of the night; they provided mutual aid to two fires earlier that evening in Sturbridge.
